A pioneer across platforms, Tori Amos is a multiplatinum singer-songwriter, pianist and composer who is nominated for a GRAMMY for the soundtrack to her 2025 New York Times bestselling children’s book Tori and the Muses. Today, Tori is thrilled to announce her 18th studio album In Times of Dragons due out May 1 via Universal/Fontana. Revered for building a multifaceted and unifying career of work defined by fearless activism and otherworldly musicianship, the new collection continues this storytelling tradition through a dynamic cast of characters. It is a powerful journey of resilience and awakening where the pursuit of freedom meets forces that seek to control and silence. Tori shares, “In Times of Dragons is a metaphorical story about the fight for Democracy over Tyranny, reflecting the current abhorrent non accidental burning down of democracy in real time by the ‘Dictator believing Lizard Demons’ in their usurpation of America.”

Tori will support the album with an extensive 35-date U.S. summer tour, announced today, making stops in NYC, LA, Chicago, Nashville, Boston, Austin, Philadelphia, and at the legendary Red Rocks amongst many more. The live shows will see Tori joined once again by longtime collaborators Jon Evans (MD and bass) and Ash Soan (drums) plus the addition of three backing singers – Liv Gibson, Deni Hlavinka and Hadley Kennary to will perform songs from In Times of Dragons alongside highlights from across her illustrious 35-year career, which has seen eight Grammy nominations and over 12 million global album sales. This will be preceded by her largest European tour for a decade, spanning 17 countries. Fans will have the opportunity to be part of an exclusive artist pre-sale via toriamos.com.

The captivating In Times of Dragons album cover artwork is also revealed today, intricately created using a unique vintage process. Photographer Kasia Wozniak worked with direct paper positives using the RA-4 process, shooting everything on a large-format camera. Says Wosniak of the full Artwork “Each photograph was slowly composed, photographed, and processed. It felt magical to weave Tori’s work and vision with my own. We moved from photograph to photograph with an intuitive rhythm, aligned in every shot. The process became a kind of ritual”. Speaking on the process of creating the album artwork Tori continues, “To work with Kasia and Stylist Karen Binns to bring the story and characters to life was a truly moving experience. Seeing our collaborations come to life, with them and the whole team will live with me forever”.

With In Times of Dragons, Tori once again brings together the political and the personal in a work which resonates with the urgency of modern times.
